Dirt Go Karts

Dirt Go Karts


Dirt go karts are much more popular these days, than they were in the past. They come with better safety features and a passenger capacity of 2 to 4. Usually, when someone thinks of go karts, they think of something that has a low clearance and it’s used on a track, racing with buddies, with one racer inside. Usually that is true, but dirt go karts are designed to be used off road.

This type of go kart comes with an increased clearance from the ground, which allows it to go over terrain that is rough. In most cases, they come with a safety cage and sometimes with a roll bar as well. Since they’re made to work on rough terrain, they have different tires than a regular go kart, usually much bigger. Dirt go karts come with either 4 or 2 wheel drive.

The engine size of a dirt go kart will vary quite a bit as well. You will find both engines as big as 1100 cc and as small as 90 cc. Some of these models will have a wench installed, just in case the dirt go kart needs to get out of a nasty spot with the help of towing. A few models will also have the possibility to go in reverse, which can be quite useful when you’re stuck.

These dirt go karts are made both for adults and children, so anyone that loves motor sports and the outdoors can enjoy them. While with an ATV you have a single passenger usually, a go kart can take up to 4 people, depending on the model.

You should remember to use protective gear when you drive a dirt go kart off road. Using a safety helmet that is approved might just save your life if you have any type of accident. Accidents can happen no matter how careful you are and how good you are at driving.
